Enhanced HUD Setup and Operation
Mouse Mode
Mouse mode provides the smallest footprint and most
versatility. It is a small view of File and Hook modes.
Mouse mode expands to full sized, Hook or File stats on mouse events.

File Mode
File mode updates from Hand History file at end
of each Hand. File mode is ideal for Poker Stars and Full Tilt, as there
is no Chat Hook on those sites.

Hook Mode
Hook mode updates during Hand to Live Action and
from Hand History file at end of each Hand. Hook mode is ideal for
sites with Chat hook, i.e. Cereus, i_Poker, Party Poker.

HUD Stats Explained
Main Popup
Extensive detail on page:
External Stats
HUD Lines
VE%, Score, Selectivity/Aggression, M, BB
The High Level Style data
shows % player voluntarily enters hands, score, and style. These values are calculated
first after seeing 15 hands and then recalculated every 10 subsequent
hands. (Note calculation interval can be altered under View
à Options.)
Score: Is a number from 0 to 100, the higher the number,
the better the player
In general a value of 80
and up indicates a highly skilled player, 40 to 60 an average player, 60
to 70 a good player, and below 40 a poor player.
Style: Consists of two numbers separated by a slash. Both have a
value between 0 and 9. For example, 1/8. The first number is the
player’s
selectivity: the lower the number the more selective the player.
Tight players generally have a value from 1 to 4, Average players from 5
to 6, and Loose players from 7 to 9. The second number measures the
player’s
aggression factor. The higher the number, the more aggressive the
player. Passive players generally have a value from 1 to 4, Average from
5 to 6, and Aggressive 7 to 9. Hence, a player with a style of 4/7 is
semi-tight/semi-aggressive. Conversely, a player with 1/9 is very tight
and very aggressive.
M : appears only for Tournaments. It is Stack Size divided
by Cost per Round
BB : appears only for Tournaments. It is Stack Size
divided by Big Blind level
Two Level Pockets View
This line shows how the player has played at the Pockets stage. For
Tournaments it shows only the current and previous levels. For Ring games,
it shows only the current session. It is useful for detecting gear shifts
in players and getting a better read on their pre-flop action.
Format is #Hands, VPIP%, and breakdown of the player's actions
when he voluntarily entered the hand.
For example, if line reads: 31: 16%, 100, 0, 0 This means
that in the last 31 hands, the player Voluntarily entered the pot
16% of the time. When the player entered the pot, 100% of his actions were
2-Bet (open Raise), 0% were
3-Bet (Re-Raise), and 0% were All-In. On mouse-over Limp% is
also shown.
Fold-To-Raise
File Mode
Format is Pre Flop / Post
Flop. First number states percent of time Pre-Flop the player will fold
in same round if raised after already voluntarily putting money into
the pot. The second number states percent of time Post-Flop the player will fold
in same round if raised after already voluntarily putting money into the
pot.
Hook Mode
Value is calculated each
time a player acts and is stage specific. What it
represents is the percentage of times the player folded in the same round
when he made the same action as that just observed. If, for example, a
player raises on the flop, the program checks to see what the player did
previously when his raise on the flop was re-raised. In this
example the value of 50% means that when the player had raised and then
been re-raised, he folded 50% of the time.
First
Action Next Stage
Applies only to sites with
chat Hook. Stat shows most probable first action at Nest Stage relative to
action just witnessed. Mouse over shows pop-up with more granular
analysis.
Big Bet Calling & Raising
File Mode
The big bet calling and
raising requirements
consists of two values The first
set is pre-flop and the second is post-flop. First value in each set is
Calling requirement, second is Raising requirement.
These two values indicate the hand strength the player has shown when
Calling and Raising High.
Possible values are:
? Insufficient data for analysis. To make the analysis, the
program must observe both the player’s cards and his involvement in a hand
with High level betting.
T Tight requirement. The player requires a strong holding to be
involved in High bets.
A
Average requirement. The player requires an average holding to be
involved in High bets.
L Loose. The player will involve in large bets with weak
holdings.
Hook Mode
Same data as File mode,
but accessed by mouse-over First Action Next Stage
Active Analysis. Note,
and Mucked Card
Active analysis pulls
from the player's history relative to category, current action, position,
and stage in hand. Applies only to sites with chat hook, i.e. Cereus,
i_Poker, Party Poker.
At Pockets numbers
show percentage of hands by Sklansky groupings we have seen from current
position (or one out of current position if no data) for the action just
observed. Data shows groupings as follows:
Weak --> Strong Group: nothing %
/ 7 & 8 % / / 5 & 6 % / / 3 & 4 % / 1 & 2 %
At Flop,
Turn, and River
numbers show percentage of hands by Strength that we have seen from
current position (or any position if no data) for the action just
observed. Data shows groupings as follows:
Weak --> Strong nothing % / Under Pair % / Weak
Top Pair % / Strong Top Pair % / Two Pair + % | Draw %
You can add player notes
from the Player's view or by double clicking Player in Full Mode controls.
Note will be displayed at bottom of integrated stat. For notes to
display at next hand, they must be entered from the full mode controls.
Notes entered from Players view will show only after scan restart.
Mucked cards will,
also, be shown here.
Continuation Bet
Analysis
When a player Raises at the
pockets stage, the stat will extend to show analysis of the player's
continuation bet history relative to game type and range around current
Big Blind Level per CBetLow and CBetHigh settings in
options. Default is fro 0.25 x current BB to 2 x current BB.
Note:
-
Your own continuation bet
data will always show at session view, but your opponents will show
relative to all data that you have on then for current game type.
-
Continuation Bet analysis
shows when player Raises at Pockets and is not all-in.
Format of Data is:
Continuation bet % (
% size Low / % size Mid / % size High ) Fold % ( size
most folded )
For example,
33% (40/60/0) 20% (L) means that
the player continuation bets 33% of the time. When he
continuation bets, he bets less than half the pot 40% of the time and 50
to < 100% of the pot 60%. Furthermore, when his continuation bet is
raised, he folds it 20% of the time. And he is most likely to Fold when
the continuation bet size is Low (i.e. less than 50% of the pot.)
Size Distinctions:
Low (L): less than 50%
of pot
Mid (M): 50 to less than
100% of pot
High (H): 100% of pot and
greater

line at your HUD position
1. On Stars, Cereus, i_Poker, Party Poker: shows win% of your hand versus
5%/10%/15%/20%/30%/40%/100% Ranges heads-up. I find it very useful for
3-bet plays and deciding on calls. Just decide what range your opponent
will open or call with, then see from line the odds of your hand versus
the range.
2. On Cereus, i_Poker, Party Poker, post-pockets line will show Outs, one card odds,
and pot pays.
